As a young teen growing up in the Midwest I didn’t have many encounters with real “fashion.” I didn’t see celebrities or city girls walking down the street with the latest styles. I didn’t even really understand what it meant to have style. Fortunately there were fashion magazines that I was able to religiously read while growing up in Wisconsin. It was from them that I created my own desire for knowledge of the latest trends. Since then, I have traveled around the world, while taking note of local styles from city to city. Now, through the power of the internet I want to help bring fashion news and fabulous garments to women everywhere while helping each of you perfect your personal style. I received my undergraduate business degree from the University of San Francisco with a year of study at the London School of Economics. I have an extensive background in beauty, fashion and retail within companies such as the Express (Limited Brands), A&F, and Ralph Lauren. After helping found Affinity Labs, I've created Combine Couture which combines my love for fashion and technology. Currently I reside in San Francisco, CA but my second home will forever be London.
